@Mike:

can you prepare a flashable zip for Stock 3.0.8 kernel ?

tks mate and Happy 2012 !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Sure, I can make one later :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trincisor:
Does anyone else feel that the browser is choppy on this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonata:
tks mike,

awaiting upload ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jottosson:
If I plan on leaving Revolution, what do I need to do? I'm thinking of the Super Wipe Lite script that formats some partitions to ext4, will it cause any kind of truble when I data wipe/factory reset the phone to flash a new rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
can u tell me the reason for leaving? i am just interrested coz i am planning to use rev hd

i asked for bugs or whatever and didnt get a real reply
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
No, no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
why don't you ask in the thread of the rom you intend to flash?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vk2bea:
Sounds like a reasonable question ... since the "super wipe" modified the default partitioning.

I think the answer depends on the kernel. If the kernel in the new ROM understands ext4 then it can mount the formatted partition. (I'm not sure what the stock kernel can cope with but perhaps you need to put it back to ext3). It's possible that 'clockwork recovery' will do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
No bugs. Why? Because it's stock ROM, just rooted and faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WillyWonka23:
Yeah I suppose that's true. I just figured that since they designed the use of only 3 softkeys, you would think they would work out the lag for the "recent apps" since that softkey only has 1 task to do.

I bet it is possible to tweak as it only starts lagging as you have more and more recent applications. Maybe there is a way to ramp the cpu when activating "recent apps"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jottosson:
Don't take it so seriously, i usually flash roms on a weekly basis :) ive never run into problems, but i tend to read up on stuff i don't understand before i try it.

Will flashing another rom/kernel (whichever) "revert" the file system from ext4 to... ext3? I'm no dev, so stay with me

Because I'll probably flash yet another one in a week or so. I'm just not sure whether or not the ext4 formatting will cause any issues in the long run.

Fyi, I'm thinking of flashing Open Android as of now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
EVERY rom (stock & custom) uses ext4 on GNexus. So no problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jottosson:
Thanks! But... what does Super wipe do then except for wiping?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
Nothing and it's not intended to ;). The easiest way of wiping is formatting :D.

Just open the script. It does format the different partitions (Cache, System). But it does exclude certain parts from Data partition (media files). So Data is not partitioned, only partially cleaned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark Lazer:
I'm an idiot. I have the CDMA version and I installed the GSM version. I guess this is what happens when I try to flash roms at 6:00 a.m. with no sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
lol I'm glad you solved it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:
Well ive tried most of the Nexus ROM's & Ive only had the phone a week. Well I did come from the all-mighty HD2 !

This ROM runs the fastest, not only in a benchmark but also during normal operation, especially with the kernal that has a license to kill (hopefully not the phone).

Just all my friends think I cant spell now as Ive had to turn off spellchecker to remove the landscape keyboard lag.

Im wondering if ICS v4.02 has the lag because its using a 3D UI ? Hence why its faster than a v4.03 ROM, this is speculation...

Err Mike, I can see on your Twitter that you're very busy with other ROM's, though are you also working on this ROM that includes ICS v4.03 or is there a seperate keyboard lag fix that can be implemented like the Facebook sync fix. ta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droid_does:
Mike; have you added the mod to fix facebook sync yet?

I'd love to hope back to ARHD :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I'm waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to become cheaper :) will definitely use this ROM it looks and sounds awesome :D great job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
thx for this one :)

but if this is modded stock, is it possible to get OTA updates of google itself? :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonata:
good morning Mike,

forget to upload flashable zip for stock kernel 3.08 ?

tks mate
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericc191:
This is a great rom. Thanks for your hard work, bro!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
No, it's not possible
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MindSplit:
You should gift him some CDs.

Sent from my Evo 3D running ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nordpolcamper:
Amazing ROM^^

is there any ETA for a new ROM version with Android 4.0.3 on ARHD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
Said many times...not until google releases the factory images for 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nordpolcamper:
Thank you for that quick answer^^ I should use the contextual search a little more often^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
The OTA's are already gone when you unlock bootloader and install CWM-Recovery. You don't even have to install custom ROM ;).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juno-First:
Ooh I think I found a bug thats not in the stock ROM: the stock browser has no bookmarks menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
there isn't any need to, when you flash another kernal do a nandroid before and if you don't like the new kernal go to back up and restore/advanced restore/restore boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
No you are wrong. Next to address bar to the right press the tab button then book mark us in the same place
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
sorry i was very busy last days. I will work on it.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonata:
tks for info mate ...

if I make this is the same ?

copy from CWR folder from phone the file boot.img, then via pc flash it, in fastboot mode, in this way : fatsboot flash boot boot.img

right ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 69mws:
I have a strange problem since two days: Whenever I start the stock browser, the phone crashes and reboots.

It also happens when I try to delete the cache manually located in /data/data/com.google.android.browser/cache/webviewCacheChromium/

I'm also unable to delete the cache when in recovery using adb. I'm always being told that I have read-only permissions. Using 'adb remount' is successfull but I still can't delete the files.

Wanted to do a full wipe, but apparently it's not working. After selecting 'factory reset' in CWM and reflashing ARHD 2.1.2 everythings still there.

Any hints?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
Have you tried fixing permissions in recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 69mws:
Yep, already done that, but I could give it another try.

Going again through the CWM Guide I noticed that I forgot to install su.zip via recovery, maybe that's the problem. Will try that now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
hey mike, is there any chance you'd be willing to modify the stock kernel for your rom with added support for the NTFS file system?

apparently part of the reason why my flash drives have not been working with my OTG cable is because they're NTFS formatted to hold files over 4GB. But android won't read them without support added in the kernel.

or if your not willing, does anyone know of any kernel thats still stock like this one but had NTFS support?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
I will use faux'123 custom kernel probably ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 69mws:
Something is very strange. I tried resetting via settings menu. After rebooting everything's still there as if nothing happened. How can this be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonata:
quote myself ....

it's right ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
100% correct mate :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
How come the other ROMs such as the CM kang and stuff have 4.0.3.?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kavyt:
Cause they are built from AOSP, this ROM is built from public release.

No public release of 4.0.3 means no revision of ARHD 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but when I use gallery and tried to change preference of how albums are lined up the phone just powers off itself, no reboot, no FC, just simply powered off....

Any thoughts??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Nope. Working fine here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
Should I try backing up first and then do a wipe data/cache and restore the whole system?

I'm also having problems with gallery showing a different thumbnail picture from the actual picture...

I don't really like the default gallery app, any better suggestion?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkey hung:
There's one problem I have. Whenever I reboot the phone, all my text messages show up. It will say like 736 new messages for example. Any way how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
I would try and fix permissions first: Start recovery and fix permissions.

Another idea: Have you restored system data with titanium after flashing this ROM? That would also be able to produce this effects. In this case you'd have to reflash ROM and NOT restore system data afterwards, only apps and app data.

As for an alternative to gallery: I use Quick Pics and love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
Thanks, I'll try fixing permissions first, and no I haven't used titanium to restore my system data or apps, just simply restore from clockwork.

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inffy:
What do you mean u restored from clockwork?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
I made a backup before it started crashing n having problems and turned out that it was the right move LOL so i did a wipe data/cache and restored everything from clockwork

Also I'm experiencing some lags of maybe 0.5 second each time I go into setting and select whatever, is this lag universal or its with this rom? should I get a OC kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
You will experience some lags here and there. As Mike said yesterday: This is Android not iOS :D

An overclocking kernel wouldn't change a thing there. Your phone won't even run at full speed with the standard kernel when you just select smth in "settings" :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
It's a good phone no doubt about that but im sure team android have just as smart a people as team apple, and should be able to smooth 4.0 now and then. I wonder why they didn't!!! every aspect of this phone is so much better than its iphone counterparts (if any) but not as smooth just blows my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
Well, it always has been this way. iOS was always smoother than Android. But still it sucks big time ;).

Our PCs also have some lags at times and we live with it. So why make a fuss out of an occasional hiccup of a mobile ;). I don't care about that at all. I had them in all my (many) phones and I'm still not buying an iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
Props to that!!!! Yea I'm never a big fan of iphone...love how we can customize everything on android but I'm sure the GN is out here to set a standard for future phones just as the Nexus One did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
I also wanted to ask about the compass sensor in GN.

When I use google maps and the arrow that shows where you're facing is very sneaky sometimes...when i turn only 90 degrees it just wanders off pointing in different directions.

Is there any fix for this or can i some how calibrate my compass so it works properly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
Compass calibration is always performing a big "8" with the phone in the air. But it will never be totally accurate as long as you don't move significantly (I mean really move, not only turn)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
i got another question of this rom. still i dont received my nexus -.-

i read some kind of camera bug in different rom topics. so that after shooting some the apk FC

is it still present here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
I'm thinking on getting this phone and use this ROM. I have an iPhone 4 now and love the support in my language Greek for voice dialing over my bluetooth earpiece.

Could anyone confirm if you can do the same with this phone? This is very important for me, I have over 1.000 contacts and voice dialing is a time saver.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
I never had any camera issues myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flushell:
wrong quote, wrong edit, nevermind: ignore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gianton:
That's what I found out in Google, so I will stay with iPhone.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flushell:
Voice dialing is supported in my language (dutch) IT SAYS. In practice I still have to say "Call [some Dutch name with english accent]" to get it right. Saying it in Dutch is not working at all, no matter I can set "Dutch" it in settings. Adressed this issue on many fora, never hat a reaction. Not so important for people I think.

In short my answer is: It probably won't work in Greek language.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
Hey, I would just like to point something out in regards to "smoothness"...

The twitter app ,for example, on the gnex scrolling is really "choppy" as demonstrated in this video

Anyways, the fix is to "force GPU rendering" in settings/developer options (may need to reboot)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
battery

Can some one tell me if using Wifi consumes less battery than the 4g data??

Check this out.

Also notice that if i charge tha phone with the lap top.. you have a better battery life than if you charge it from the wall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Yes please Mike!! this is very important. Happy new year tho ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BoostedSR20:
Just tried this, makes a pretty good difference in a few apps. (like a long conversation in imo)

Thanks. :D

Edit: Just realized this fixes 98% of the lag issues I had with Handcent. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Thats sound conformist, and if everyone thinks that way, the lag in android will never be fixed... i like to think that some day Android will be smooth as iOS and better in every sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 420SYN:
It may fix some issues but causes others. I have several apps like the weather network that are unuseable with that setting enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BoostedSR20:
I haven't done much on the phone yet today, so far ok. I'll keep an eye out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
that is true, for me it "wrecked" solitaire:rolleyes: ...I just found another one that worked.

Twitter is so bad without it, I am willing to make compromises
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BoostedSR20:
Yeah I've been trying different apps, some do have some oddities now.. But its livable. The fact that it helps so much with Handcent and imo... leaving it on.

View attachment Revolution_HD_CircleBat_SoftMod.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
Nice mod! Cheers

Will this work on any 4.0.3 roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
Most probably not. It changes System_UI.apk which is different in every Android version. So if this runs on ARHD / Android 4.0.2 it will most probably break any Android 4.0.3 ROM in one way or another.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

Well and I think that nobody at Google cares what you (and I) think about those lags as long as every day hundreds of thousands android phones are sold. :D So I prefer NOT to be affected by it.

Maybe one day it will be as smooth, but surely not because you, me or anybody believes in it ;).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Having the "Force GPU rendering" option ticked makes some applications choppy, for example Any.DO. Probably because copying to the GPU memory and then rendering is slower than letting the CPU just do it; it's not like the effects are so massive they need the GPU and the CPU is way more powerful than needed for animations.

Twitter is really choppy without GPU rendering. But then, isn't there a way for apps to request GPU rendering? If there is, the Twitter app should do that. It's likely a junk application nonetheless, horribly inefficient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luminouche:
Excellent mod !

Thx !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BoostedSR20:
Awesome thanks. Not a huge fan of the circle battery, but I've really been wanting to flash one that shows the %. The soft buttons however are fantastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kleverman:
I have CWM installed. Can i use that to flash or do i have to use Superwipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
Use CMW and flash the file from. Sd
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
True buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wallendiaz:
excellent mod, but I dont see the search button, I see only the 3 basic buttons to ics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Yes i also thought that, but i only have the 3 basic buttons...

Other thing, now the black space where the 3 buttons are, is now bigger (higher)?? or its just me?? i think it is... giving space for the reflection of the buttons... if thats the case then i dont like it... take off space for the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wallendiaz:
I think it's the same size is only a visual effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rolear8:
Ok, guess you right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MKVFTW:
Is there any hope getting facebook syncing working with ARHD? Its a key feature for me and seeing a bunch of other rom's popping up with it is very frustrating.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks for such a great ROM Mike! Came over from the Desire HD, wasn't disappointed!

Doesn't that sync all facebook contacts, not just existing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BoostedSR20:
Super awesome. Just flashed this one... Like it better than the circle. (personal preference)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
Looks good. Can I request just the softkey mod? I believe some of us here prefer the stock battery icon. Or the stock battery icon with percentage inside if that's possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mingtaoh:
Ok I fixed permission and did wipe data/cache and restored from clockwork.

The gallery problem still persists...it just powered off not reboot not FC, I wish it was FC would be alot easier to fix i guess....

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gralexon:
well, I'll do when I'm home again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m0nji:
in settings you can set "existing contacts only"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
Well, as nobody else but you seems to have the problem, there are only 2 possibilities left I think (or a combination of the two):

- The problem is already in the ROM you backuped and

restored, i.e. the error happened already earlier. So you'd have to restore one nandroid earlier, or start all over again.

- The problem comes from an app or mod you installed and that somehow kills smth in your installation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robt772000:
Getting mine in a few days and have had some fun choosing which rom to go with. RevoHD downloaded and I am waiting. :D

I have had an N1 and a SGS2 and all with many roms. SGS2 with CM9 alpha but can't wait for this.

Looks really awesome mate! :)

Any reviews, thoughts on how well this and Franco's kernel go together ?

Just flashed it heard nothing but good things about your ARHD roms on all phones Mike so gonna give this a bash.

Also when you updating to 4.0.3 ?

When Google release it publicly.

market

hi,

sure my problem is not rom related, but ask help to solve :

when looking for some local apps from market, didn't find ....

read that need to edit the build.prop

anyone can help me to solve this ?

my location is italy

tks for help bros :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flushell:
Thanks for the awesome battery mod!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GerooTech:
does this include the search bottom on the softkey?? as the picture does not show it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
Whether the search key is shown or not, depends on the ROM you use. Whether he has included the image for the search-key however is a legitimate question ;).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
I don't know much about build.prop region edit ting on gnex, you need to find cma codes or something, normally 8 digits long and change 3 lines.

I do know Google helps when searching for apks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jotha:
I know that editing build.prop also from HTC-ROM's. But I checked build.prop on this ROM just this moment, and there are no CMA-Data in it. Nor there are any other region data in it. So I don't know what should be edited here to localize the phone for Italy. The only thing that comes close is a variable for language which is set to "en" and for area which is set to "US". You could check the build.prop from original ROM (open in winrar and look into system-folder, or reflash and look into /system) whether there were other entries for that.

On the other hand I left it as it was and I'm able to get local apps from market. So I think your problem is smth different.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giugiu:
I borrowed my Gnex for a few days to a friend who.. had a Sensation. After 2 days he had bought a Gnex as well and gave the sensation to his wife... ;)

Pros:

- smoother

- display / resolution

- weight

- "Google / XDA" experience (kernels, roms etc.)

Cons:

- battery life when screen is on

- he misses some htc widgets

- camera (he thinks sensation makes better photos)

Some people miss Sense UI, some don't. I definitely do, but from the second side, pure Android is way "lighter" and snappier because of that.
